Ma. N. Y. RusK closed his winter term OF
school at Campbelrs school house on Friday,
the 18Th inst, and the event was a very pleas
ant one and worthy OF special mention. As
space pleads breyity, we regret that we cannot
give an extended report OF the exercises, which
was as follows: Examination of elasses-din
ner-literary entertainment by the pupils,
consisting of speeches, dialogues and recita
tions. Good music was furnished by orches-
ira composed as follows: Miss Nellie Camp
bell, orgaHist; Farrell Bros. first and second
violins; J. 7. Duff, violoncello. Among the
many other good and creditable performances
We desire to mention the salutatory by Lizzie
kiigore, a little girl just about as big as a
linnet and just about as nice. As a token Of
their appreciation of the work of the teacher
and their respect for him, the patrons of the
school provided good and abundant dinner,
and the teacher furnished for the pupils and
all present liberal candy treat. The pupils
gave the entertainment for the patrons of the
school and their invited guests. A number of
ladies and gentlemen in attendance at Franklin
college came down in the afternoon, and of the
New Athens people we noticed Rev. r. L.
Smith and DR.. Burgess. BY special request
the DR.. made some brief but interesting re-
marks. Quite a number of strangers were
present. The pleasant social intercourse, the
friendly greeting, and abundant good cheer,
made the day one long to be remembered, and
the thanks of all present are due the teacher,
his pupils, and the kind people of the district
The dinner was good and abundant and the
cake especially nice. Mr.. Rusk ranks high as
a teacher and gentleman, and his popularity
as teacher is an evidence of his talent and
successful work.
The Wheeling township wool-growers' asso
citation convened at the school house in district
number 4, on Saturday last. President, David
Lyle; secretary, WIN. BrokaW; treasurer, Capt
a. H. Lee. By unanimous vote these officers
were reelected for the coming year. Mr.. Jno
" atson and Capt. Lee each made some ex-
planatory remarks and urged immediate action
in order to protect their interests in the matter
of fine quality of weol imported into this
country, and by an erroneous decision of the
secretary of the treasury, designated as waste
thus being subjected to low rate of duty. On
motion one or two men in each school district
we're appointed to solicit money to carry on the
work, and to awaken the growers to a sense of
the danger to their interests. Each grower in
the township should promptly respond to the
call for meeting and there be convinced that
they have been asleep and that nothing but
avert the threatened damage of their interests.
